Any old films worth a watch?

Really loved Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Zhivago. Anything else along those lines would be greatly appreciated

Days of wine and roses is a quality watch. Harrowing enough subject matter.

That's Powell & Pressburger, right? I watched Black Narcissus a while ago. Old school racist british melodrama but one of the best looking films I've seen.

Yeah, it is. Visually stunning. The technical achievements are something else. "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" is worth a watch too.  What those guys could do within the camera was phenomenal.

I re-watched "Citizen Kane" for the first time in a while on a rainy afternoon recently. Gregg Toland's camera-work and trickery is incredible.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang maybe?

Great film in fairness..that creepy bastard child catcher. Amazing performance. No way you could show that to kids nowadays, the world would explode  :laugh:

Along with The Sound Of Music, I've never seen it.

Sound of music is excellent too.

A perfect mix of that and the other elements you're after is Fiddler on the Roof

They're all cuntish.

I don't feel like I'm missing out.

Fiddler on the Roof is a near perfect film.

The Blackout. Russian take on sci-fi/alien invasion craic.  Excellent.

there's an early 80s arthouse film with an Eskimo word as its title. No speech, just layers of found footage of the natural and urban world....

does anyone remember the name? I'm intending on buying the bluray for a friend's birthday but my addled middle aged brain has let it slip....

Baraka perhaps?

Early 90s though...
